Too Preachy !

8 years ago

I was hoping for more practical information on BF. Instead, I had to wade through incessant preaching about 'breast being best' and deal with the pushing of a particular parenting style(not sure of the correct name, but its *very* attachment focussed) just to get to some basic info...

I'm returning this book tomorrow! I'm sure the practical stuff is in there, but the preaching is so loud its distracting!
